Melding the aesthetics of Cyberpunk with the industriousness of modern Japan, Oria has created a range of statement pieces inspired by common Japanese food. She abstracts foods like the instant noodle, creating the “cyber noodle” in the form of 3D resin jewellery and gold-plated bronze pieces, both bright and wearable. In this way she comments on the juxtapositions of futuristic living, which centres both advancement and ease in its principles. The designs fuse high-tech and everyday experience, creating functional yet flamboyant jewellery that reimagines the mundane for a tech-centric future.
